Box Score
TEMPE, Ariz. - Katie Burkhart pitched her second perfect game of the season as the top-ranked Sun Devil Softball team topped the Santa Clara Broncos 8-0 in five innings Friday night in front of 800 Sun Devil faithful. The Sun Devils are now 28-1 overall while riding a 25-game winning streak as Santa Clara drops to 4-28 overall.
The Sun Devils struck early as they put one on the board off a Bronco error, but the second is where the offense caught fire posting four runs on four hits with Mindy Cowles plating two off a double to right field off a 1-2 pitch to put ASU ahead 5-0. They added another in the fourth as Kaitlin Cochran led-off the inning with a single through right side in her only at-bat after being intentionally walked twice. Mindy Cowles and Krista Donnenwirth followed up with ground-out to plate Cochran and put the lead at 6-0.
All ASU needed was the fifth inning though as a lead-off walk to Caylyn Carlson was followed by a single from Ashley Muenz with a Bronco error to score Carlson. A sacrifice hit and wild pitch later scored Muenz to wrap the game early with an 8-0 win for ASU.
